Here are some of the ‘2 for 1’ cards a group from our church made on Saturday. I had a couple of friends help with prep and running the event and it was a fun creative time. Of course there were snacks, laughter and plenty of conversation.
The ‘2 for 1 technique’ in this case required the maker to cut an image or word out of patterned paper and turn the positive and the negative piece into two separate cards. To add some texture and pattern we had coloured and embossed backgrounds to choose from.
I have run this event before and there is always some creative free styling when participants see the supplies available. I get inspired watching everyone create. I wanted one photo of all the cards but my kitchen table was crowded with just half so I divided them into landscape and portrait orientation.
Thank you to the twenty three people who participated before and during the event. I hope the residents at the nursing home will enjoy the pretty cards and message.

What an array of beautiful cards Heather and the two for one idea is such a great idea and I’m sure the nursing home residents will just love receiving them. x
WOW! Look at all those amazing cards that will brighten the day for those who are receiving them. Lovely cards using the 2 for 1 technique Heather. Always fun to have a session with lots of people to make it fun. Great work organizing and providing inspiration! xx
